The Work-Related Injury Statistics Query System

The Work-Related Injury Statistics Query System (Work-RISQS)
is an interactive query tool to obtain estimates for the number of nonfatal
occupational injuries treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments
(EDs). The data are derived from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System—Occupational
Supplement (NEISS-Work). Through a national probability-based sample
of U.S. hospital EDs, NEISS-Work collects data on civilian workers who were injured
on the job. Work-RISQS users may interactively query on worker demographic
characteristics, nature of injury, and incident circumstances for ED-treated
injuries from 1998 through the present to obtain national estimates.

Work-RISQS Case Definition

DISCLAIMER: The NEISS-Work data are collected by the NIOSH Division
of Safety Research in partnership with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC), the operator of the basic NEISS program. This site is independent of the CPSC. There are no implied
